Yay or Nay: Kat Von D Goes Blonde

Kat Von D showed up at the Teen Choice Awards with a new blonde do. Honestly, I'm not sure which disturbs me more that she was at the Teen Choice Awards or that she's now blonde. Her hair looks somewhat like a wig though and not a color job? I prefer Kat as a brunette myself but I will say, stringy, straw-looking hair aside, the blonde locks look good but we my need a little conditioner because at the moment it has a too long in the fryer look about it!

Honestly? I don't think she's too attractive either way, and I think she's a crappy artist who overcharges for her work. Overhyped!

*Tattoo artistry rant!*

I live very close to LA, and of course when non-California friends come to visit they all want to go to LA Ink for a 'too. We all have tattoos, piercings- some of us more than others, but pretty much everybody has at least one tattoo! I am very peeved that the shop is essentially a Kat shrine. Several of the other artists are far more expressive/talented/humble & are better with their prices. The only reason I think Kat got big was because she's edgy and obviously good at self-marketing. There are more deserving women artists; they just don't get famous because they're old, or ugly, or just not based with Corey Miller. A lady who did a tattoo of mine in Santa Barbara is simply amazing, only she's like 55 and dresses like a teenage tomboy. Hehe.

Anybody familiar with Elayne Angel? I like her tattoos (like the ones on her body specifically LOL) way better than Kat Von D's. Go Google!

This is all just my perception though.

Alllll of that aside... I do like Kat's makeup line at Sephora. Makes me feel slightly hypocritical. Haven't had the chance to buy any, but the colors seem to be great. =) And I agree that her lipstick she's wearing is NIIICE!

I'm going to be a voice of dissent here and say that I actually...kind of dig it! I mean, pretty much all celebs go from black/brown to blond and back again, so why not Kat? I can see where she would be ready for a change. Still...I think she should go dark(er) again soon. :)
